Problem with my chevy colorado. There is a grinding sound every time i brake. It even does it when i go five miles an hour. It does it every time that i take a turn in the streets even if i do not use the brakes. This fault in the abs system worries me a lot, because i think it's a serious safety issue. *tr

I have a 2005 colorado crew cab 4x4. On several different occasions the brake pedal had to be pumped to stop the vehicle. On wet roads it is like driving in the snow, it will slide in what ever direction you are traveling. I took it to the chevrolet dealer and they had to replace the right hub and right sensor and put on new brake pads and shoes and it cost me $1,181.80 and i still have no idea what caused the…

Purchased 2005 colorado with 33,000 vehicle may 2008. Less than a year later the abs light came on with the abs light flashing on dic. There are other complaints on file with nhtsa about this very same problem but still no recall, some resulting in crashes. Spoke with chevrolet yesterday but they are not willing to do anything about it. I guess there has to be more crashes or some deaths to get a recall on this…

After re-lining rear brakes they lock up and grab after about 1000 miles. Relining has been done two times by repair shop, same conditions after noted mileage. Brakes are even worse when it rains or during high humidity conditions. Lock up and/or grabbing tends to cause temporary loss of control on wet surfaces. Repair shop has inquired to manufacturer regarding this condition, manufacturer is aware that this…

Has been going on since vehicle was new. Is 13 months old…
